Poker Games on Spirit?

[cazlap1129]

We are sailing on the Spirit on July 2nd and my husband is an avid poker player. I was wondering if anyone can tell me about the poker games they have on board- are they tournament style? Buy in amounts? Texas Hold Em? 5 card? Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Christine

They have limit cash games ... but there arent always players to play with. $2.50 / $5.00 blinds if I remember correctly.

 

They also have 10 player $60 buy-in ( 50 + 10 to the house) no limit tournaments on sea days but you have to make sure you are there early for registration because the spots go fast !

Sorry, forgot to specify, its Texas Hold 'Em.

:Butting in:...Do you register the day of the tournament? Or can you register when you get on the ship? On a 10 day cruise, how many tournaments were there? Thanks so much!

Here is a list of the tables from Casinos at Sea for the Spirit. I know they have tournaments but do not know the details. HTH

You can register for all available tournaments when the casino opens. They do want you to pay at the time of registration with cash or charged to your room.

We were on the Spirit for 8 nights and they had either 2 or 3 tournaments of Texas Hold'um. They didn't have a regular table playing nightly though (which is what we experienced on the NCL Sea last year). DH preferred the nightly table set-up.

On each of the sea days there were atleast 1 tourney a day. Some days had 2 of them. The registration usually would start at 8:30 but you would need to get there atleast around 8:00 for there to be room.

Just got back. They had Texas Hold um on a regular basis in the evening, not just the tournaments.

My DH will be glad to hear that. It sounds like there have been a lot of (good) changes on the Spirit since we sailed her in November.
